I Aggressively Stack Steel of the Heart in the Knight Order

Logan’s massive form clearly froze, as if he couldn’t believe his ears.

He turned his head to look behind him. He saw the Divine Emperor’s Fury slowly land in Reinhardt’s hand, its scarlet flames, wreathed in Radiant Power, blazing fiercely.

”You...”

The next second, Logan’s pupils contracted. He took a shocked step back and exclaimed, ”This is impossible—!”

If Tier Three Mages and Sky Knights were Gods of the Human World, then Great Demons were terrifying Divine Spirits from the Void Realm. Every Great Demon that descended upon the Real Cosmos was an incarnation of destruction and disaster!

Hundreds and thousands of planetary worlds burned beneath their feet.

Trillions of living beings sank into a mire of suffering and death.

A Great Demon—a terrifying existence that only Tier Three Mages and Sky Knights could match!

Earth Knights and Tier Two Mages, even Divine Chosen Knights of ancient bloodlines... only the absolute strongest among the millions of Transcendents in the vast cosmos were qualified to stand before a Great Demon and face its terrifying gaze.

’The Emperor’s Vengeful Angel... Just what is he...’

A trickle of cold sweat slid down Logan’s spine. His entire body felt as if it had been struck by lightning.

This was the immense terror of seeing his enemy not only unharmed but also showing no hint of fear after he had played his strongest trump card!

This was the Eye of the Great Demon!

Once used, the immense power of its terrifying gaze could instantly slaughter nearly a hundred thousand Mortals in a small city!

Even a Hundred-Man Battle Group formed by Official Knights could only march step by step toward death amidst terrifying illusions when facing such power!

He was, of course, aware of the extent of Reinhardt’s strength, but he never would have dreamed that the Emperor’s Vengeful Angel was so powerful... or rather, that his Spiritual Power was so terrifying that he could resist the gaze of a Great Demon!

Now, the flames of the Divine Emperor’s Fury were reflected in his pupils.

The real fear of death flooded his entire body in an instant!

Cold sweat drenched Logan’s body, because he knew that if the Eye of the Great Demon couldn’t turn the tide of battle for him, he would be dead for sure if he fought Reinhardt head-on!

Even with the Undying Body granted to him by the Prophet!

Protected by the Eye of the Great Demon, he could block the searing judgment the Divine Emperor’s Flame inflicted upon unclean souls. This was why he had dared to boast to Grand Lord Kles that crushing Reinhardt would be as easy as crushing an ant.

But that didn’t mean he was qualified to underestimate the Divine Emperor’s Flame’s utterly terrifying lethality against Demons.

This terrifying weapon, wreathed in the supreme Radiant Power, could severely injure even the Supreme Four Gods with a single blow! And he was just a minor Destiny Apostle in the Ten Thousand Changes Demon Monarch’s Destiny Weaver Legion.

In the eyes of Demons and ordinary Destiny Knights, he was a lofty, major figure who could stand on equal footing with a Void Governor. But in front of a truly powerful expert, all his achievements and battle records were just a huge joke!

The Demon Poison plot had failed, the contest of Body Techniques using Knight Power had ended in a crushing defeat, and even his final trump card, the Eye of the Great Demon, had lost its effect.

His current inner terror was as great as his earlier arrogant laughter had been loud.

He stared intently at Reinhardt, cursing the Infiltrator Council in his heart. ’A One-star Military Rank Earth Knight?! What the fuck is this?!’

’He’s a monster!’

’Those idiots from the Infiltrator Council really screwed me this time!’

Physique and Spiritual Power were, after all, the foundation of a Knight.

As a Destiny Knight who had relied on a Demon’s gift, opportunistically using the Eye of the Great Demon to inflate his power, it was only now, facing a Reinhardt who had clawed his way out of a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood, that he truly understood the enormous gulf in strength between them!

An absolute gap in raw power!

Even though he held a Four-star Military Rank, this Alienated Power that didn’t belong to him—that wasn’t even a Knight’s own power—was like paper armor, shattering at the slightest touch.

The moment Reinhardt’s body gave the slightest tremor before moving, Logan’s body jolted as if shocked by electricity. Without any hesitation, he turned and fled!

Although his raw power was mediocre, his speed and methods of escape surprised even Reinhardt for a moment.

Logan’s body was enveloped in a dark shadow formed from Demon Power, desperately fleeing into the distance, almost flying as he skimmed the ground.

Unfortunately, in Reinhardt’s eyes, his speed was still far too slow.

BOOM—!

The high-temperature energy stream from the over-powered Aikacia Nozzle propelled Reinhardt’s body forward like a fired cannonball. In the blink of an eye, he was already blocking Logan’s path.

The roaring shockwave sent rain splashing, carving a straight line on the ground where he had passed.

As Reinhardt’s gaze, seen through the dark red lenses of his Full Coverage Helmet, met Logan’s terrified eyes.

There were no pointless words, no mercy.

He didn’t even leave him any room to resist.

Reinhardt raised his left hand slightly, his thoughts stirring. ’Extraordinary Armory·Defeated Demon, activate Forbidden Magic Force Field.’

The Forbidden Magic Force Field, extending at the speed of light, descended in an instant from Logan’s perspective!

Whether it was the gloomy power enveloping him as he moved or the Demon Power of his illusory tentacles, everything seemed to fall into a terrifying cosmic black hole, losing all effect and even severing its connection to his consciousness.

Logan’s expression was one of someone who had just seen a ghost, filled with incredulous shock.

’That bastard didn’t even use the power of the Earth Ring when he fought me before? He just used pure Body Techniques... How is that possible?!’

”Wait—! We can... AHHHH—!”

The flaming Divine Emperor’s Fury mercilessly pierced his heart. Unlike the Knight who quietly returned to the Divine Emperor’s radiance, Logan, his soul seared by the flames, let out an unbearable, shrill scream.

His Alienated flesh peeled off piece by piece under the incineration of the Divine Emperor’s Flame. He fell heavily to his knees, clutching his head and screaming continuously.

Until his soul was completely burned to ash.

At the same time, the crisp sound of the Steel of the Heart rang in Reinhardt’s ears. Seven hundred layers of Steel of the Heart gained!

[Giant Devouring Current Layer Number: 9380]

[Physical Enhancement Coefficient: 9.380]

[Heart Steel Goliath Giant Current Permanent Physique Buff: 27%]

Afterward, as if he had undergone three months of arduous training, a searing power flowed ceaselessly through Reinhardt’s muscles and blood. At the same time, another power was slowly growing within him—Destructive Suppression.

The Earth Ring unique to a Destruction Knight, the purest form of subjugating others with force!

It required no additional treasures for development; only by fighting and improving the fundamentals of a Knight could this power continue to grow. Once it reached its peak state, a single wave of this pressure could crush a hundred-man Knight Battle Group!

After killing Logan, Reinhardt took the Eye of the Great Demon embedded in his corpse. Ignoring its terrifying gaze and demonic whispers, he split it in two with a single strike of the Divine Emperor’s Flame!

A curtain of rain fell diagonally against the surface of Reinhardt’s Power Armor, splashing away.

「The next moment.」

Two out-of-control Space Dragon Race ships plummeted from the sky at high speed. The towering inferno from their violent explosions roared to life behind Reinhardt.
